[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 33850, member: 1722"] Hi Michelle, Your post really struck a cord in me. It could have been written by me three years ago. The first thing to understand is that ODD is almost always has a co-morbid condition. When the underlying condition is effectively addressed then the ODD behaviors often subside. Also, a psychologist isn't qualified to actually diagnose childhood disorders, that is why many come up with only the ODD diagnosis. I had to learn how to separate my daughter from her difficult behaviors. It's still a challenge, but I'm doing better with it. The Explosive Child by Ross Greene really helped me to be a better parent for her by teaching me how to pick me battles and not further escalate her meltdowns. It would help us keep things straight if you write a signature which gives us some basic (but non-identifying) info about your daughter. Some questions: How was your daughter's infancy? Easy? Difficult? When did her challenging behaviors start? Is there any history of substance abuse, mood disorders or neurological disorders in the family tree? Many disorders are hereditary & clustered in families. Is she in school/daycare? Any problems there? How does she do with friends/peers? Does she has strong reactions to loud rooms, food textures, clothing or bright lights? Does she seem frustrated rather than angry when she rages? Any underlying health conditions? [/QUOTE]
